Chapter 727 Professor, Times Have Changed
When Ronaldo scored to extend the score to 3-0, Wenger stood on the sidelines with a blank expression on the professor's face.
The camera locked on Wenger firmly. Objectively speaking, the director was very unfriendly.
There are also commentators discussing and discussing what Wenger is thinking at this moment.
He thought nothing of it.
There is only a deep sense of frustration in my heart.
Defensive, unable to defend; forming an offensive formation, trying to fight against Aston Villa and score goals, is also defeated.
This is a bit cruel for Wenger, who has coached Arsenal for so many years and led the team to experience glory.
At this point in the game, Wenger knew that Aston Villa would definitely win.
Three goals behind at halftime, and most importantly, the morale of the team is extremely low. How can we play this game?
Although, you can't give up before the game is over, and there is still half a game, so there is enough time.
However, depending on the situation, at the very least, the professor at this time was depressed and helpless.
Not even the final was on his mind, but the future of Arsenal.
Fang Jue's Aston Villa is like the sudden rise of a behemoth. Judging from the current strength of Aston Villa, especially Fang Jue's coaching ability, this team will dominate the Premier League in the short term. Speaking of Arsenal, even if Ferguson's Manchester United and Ancelotti's Chelsea want to shake Aston Villa's plunder of the championship, it will be very difficult.
At least that's how it looks right now.
In addition, there is Manchester City, the Arab local tycoon team waving the checkbook and rising.
Wenger can't even imagine the prospect that Arsenal may not even be able to grab the top four in the future.
Specific to this game, even looking back, Arsenal have suffered several disastrous defeats at the feet of Aston Villa, and Wenger knows where the team lost.
After Vieira left, Arsenal did not have a midfielder who could really rest assured.
Wenger's eyes stayed on Clement, envious.
In Wenger's view, it wasn't Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, or Deisler.
This Spanish midfielder who is about to turn 30 years old is Fang Jue's real direct descendant and the most important player in this team.
What if Arsenal had Clement?
No if.
At the end of the first half, Aston Villa led Arsenal 3-0 at halftime with Suarez's brace and Ronaldo's goal. In this League Cup final, they are almost undefeated land.
Before the start of the second half, Wenger made substitutions one after another.
Alexander Song came on as a substitute, replacing Petrov.
Veteran Rosicky came off the bench and replaced Bendtner, who was almost invisible in the first half.
The idea of the whole substitution is very clear, to stabilize the midfield.
Can't drop the ball anymore.
Losing is set, the championship is hopeless, all Wenger thinks now is to avoid another fiasco.
Slaughtered by Aston Villa twice in a row, Wenger doesn't want a third.
Sixty-five minutes into the game, the score was still three to zero, with Aston Villa leading.
Fang Jue was very dissatisfied with the fact that the team still hadn't achieved anything 20 minutes into the second half, so he also started to dispatch troops.
Ronaldo was replaced.
Mane came on as a substitute.
Aston Villa changed into four three three.
This adjustment quickly paid off. Mane and Bell took turns tearing apart Arsenal's defense from left to right, exhausting Arsenal's wings.
Mane made a sudden inside cut, and after attracting the attention of the defender, he sent a through ball.
Modric pressed up and went into the penalty area. Facing former teammate Koscielny, Modric crossed the center.
Deisler missed the ball, followed by Suarez, who volleyed. The ball bypassed the feet of Vermaelen, who was flying the tackle, and flew into the net from Almunia's armpit.
Four to zero!
Suarez scored a hat-trick.
Wenger covered his face with painful hands.
Ronaldo scored his first goal against Arsenal last season and staged a hat-trick.
In the first round of the league this season, Shevchenko also scored a hat-trick.
This time it was Suarez's turn again.
Wenger is both painful and helpless, and at the same time has some resentment.
Arsenal and Aston Villa have any grudges or grievances, and you can't wear a sheep to squeeze the wool!
Fang Jue replaced Suarez, who performed a hat-trick, and replaced him with Vardy.
Clement was also replaced, and Sidwell got a rare chance to play.
With Clement's departure, the hardness and effectiveness of Aston Villa's midfield defense have dropped significantly.
Van Persie assisted veteran Rosicky to score a goal in the 83rd minute of the game, rewriting the score to one to four.
But that's all.
Five minutes later, Deisler took a direct free kick and caused Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia to throw the ball away. After Vardy's supplementary shot was saved, Bell shoveled and scored.
Five to one!
The Aston Villa people celebrated excitedly on the field, while the Arsenal players were dumbfounded and had no fighting spirit.
In the stands of the new Wembley Stadium, some Arsenal fans have already left the stadium early. They are not in the mood to watch Arsenal receive the silver medal.
This situation is very rare in the final, which shows how uncomfortable and disappointed Arsenal fans are.
The fans of Aston Villa couldn't bear it anymore. They stood up in the stands, singing and dancing, celebrating the championship in advance.
"This is the least suspenseful game in the history of the League Cup final." Lineker shook his head and sighed, "Arsenal didn't even resist and cause trouble for Aston Villa."
John Mortenson said even more cruelly, "It was another disastrous defeat. Wenger's expression was painful. I hope he can realize that the times have changed. If Arsenal does not make changes, they will still invest as little as before. They and AS The gap between Dunville will only get bigger and bigger, not to mention competing for the league championship, the top four in the league will become more and more dangerous."
The staff held up the electronic sign indicating two minutes of stoppage time for the whole game. However, the referee ignored the stoppage time and immediately blew the whistle for the end of the game as soon as the 90-minute game time was up.
The camera can capture that when the whistle blew for the end of the game, the Arsenal players, including Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, breathed a sigh of relief: the nightmare is finally over.
"Game over, game over, five to one! Aston Villa beat Arsenal five to one in the League Cup final."
"Congratulations to Aston Villa, congratulations to Fang Jue, they successfully defended the League Cup! In a final with almost no suspense, Aston Villa slaughtered Arsenal with a huge advantage."
"2010/2011 English League Cup champion - Aston Villa!"
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Aston Villa's bench players and staff rushed into the pitch and began to cheer and celebrate.
Fang Jue stretched the hem of his clothes and strode towards Wenger.
Fang Jue felt a little embarrassed to comfort the professor's wounded heart after every game against Arsenal.
The problem is, those comforting words have been said many times, but they are ineffective.
Fang Jue didn't know what to say.
...
Arsena, sorry?
Bah bah bah.
Will be beaten to death, okay?
"Alsena." Fang Jue shook hands with Wenger, hesitated to speak, finally sighed, and patted the professor on the shoulder.
The previous few times, the professor's expression was not bad after losing, and he would say a few words of congratulations with grace, but this time, the professor's expression was obviously not right.
"Fang, tell me." Wenger said with a lonely expression, "Should I retire?"
do not.
Fang Jue was shocked.
You're retired, who am I to bully... Pooh, pooh, where can I find such a good-tempered, so well-timed friend?
"Professor, I don't think I heard that." Fang Jue looked serious, "Arsenal has been brilliant in your hands, and it will definitely be possible in the future. The key is to change and say something straightforward."
"Although Aston Villa sold Costa, we spent close to 50 million pounds to introduce Modric and Suarez, which quickly supplemented the team lineup."
"What about Arsenal? You just signed a Japanese player without a visa, and you rarely play." Fang Jue looked serious and sincere, "Professor, times have changed. Look at Manchester City. It is difficult to produce results without investment. "
Wenger glanced at Fang Jue, holding back the demon of beating someone. Others can say this, but you shouldn't say it.
You Villa bought Suarez and Modric, did you pay for it? That's Liverpool's money, no, that's Chelsea's money.
Eh?
The professor's heart moved...
Ask for a monthly ticket, thank you.
